Full description
Your evening begins at a historic tavern in the heart of Madrid, where you’ll enjoy your first tapas of the evening along with vermouth—Spain’s favorite aperitif. Get a crash course in the art of tapeo as your guide shares some of the secrets of going out for tapas here in Madrid. After that, you’re off to discover Madrid’s history up close on an expertly guided walking tour! From iconic sights like the Royal Palace to hidden squares only locals know about, you’ll discover how each stop along the way has played a role in the city’s story. Having worked up an appetite, it’s time for more tapas at two more beloved bars in the historic center. Each of these bites is a time-honored local favorite that has won the hearts of generations of madrileños over the decades! And as you make your way from one to another, you’ll get even more insights into Madrid’s fascinating past. Finally, you’ll sit down for a dinner of shared plates at one last classic tapas bar that’s consistently packed with locals. You’ll leave with plenty of knowledge of how to enjoy tapas like a local in Madrid, and how the city’s history and food go hand in hand.

This was a great way to combine History, Architecture and a unique culinary experience. I really enjoyed the vibe of the group which added to the experience. Would recommend this at the beginning of your trip to the city to really learn how to spot the authentic places from the tourist traps.

Ended up with a fun group of Americans and Australians of varying ages. Miguel was a very entertaining, informative guide. The chosen restaurants all had different specialty tapas; I ate everything!! It was fun to explore a delicious side of Spanish culture with other people.
